  FF Mental Health Alliance Tuesday, 10/28/14

Working Session:

Agenda:
Yes, let’s use Tuesday’s meeting to identify our specific points of focus:

  * We will be primarily focused on following-up on the great work
that Ken did last week on culture and this community.
  * We will be checking in with everyone if there are other
announcements or issues that need to be addressed.
  * We will also look at some of the website updates, as well as other
projects that need to be addressed.
 *
  * _Other past areas that we will also address, as time permits:_
  * Updates and recommendations/action steps from the groups?
  * Fairfield Mental Help website — content gathering and assembling?
  * Ideas for follow-up community meetings?
  * Progress from Mental Health First Aid meeting?
  * Any residual dissuasion from last Sundays big meeting on campus
that needs to be addressed?
  * What do we create now from this work?
  * Next event on, or off, campus?
  * Check in on how we’re doing on the whole. Are we headed in the
right direction? Any course corrections needed? Any further
suggestions?
  * Hear from each of the small groups on their progress.
  * See if we have enough people to form the Resources group we
planned on, and enough professionals to form the Professionals group.
  * Meet again in small groups — since this is where the action is at
this point.
  * Individually check in as to what you are up to in creating
a difference our community, and if you need any support from the
rest of the group, or find out if you have suggestions and ideas
for the rest of the group.

"Let’s do think of the most interesting, useful, practical, 
informative, behavior-and-attitude-changing topics we can." Craig


Let me know if there are any agenda items that you personally have 
that you want to develop at this meeting, please let me know. If you 
are not on Atrium, or have not been on there since last week, please 
log on and contribute your thoughts. We want to hear what you are 
thinking.

Looking forward to seeing all of you again.

October 5^th Meeting Notes




You asked: What did you think about (the Oct 5 meeting) last night?
Look this has been about creating change and that meeting was a timely 
showing of some progress of change. The meeting was not the conclusive 
meeting but it does show the movement has changed some and all the 
people on stage help show the integration this is taking.
On the left hand of the stage as the audience viewed it were all these 
different practicing clinical professionals who also have integrated 
alternative modalities in to their practices as they are useful and 
have basis, and then Pat on the right side clarifying and holding up 
the movement's franchise. Pat did quite a deft job clarifying on 
behalf of the movement and Maharishi. Afterall, it was a movement 
community meeting. Pat is really quite controlled smart, homey, funny, 
and theatrical all at once.  I enjoyed watching him. It was really 
quite brilliant.


This is the second meeting where he has spoken for our collective 
practical concern as to compassion and our working to help people 
solve mental health issues being essentially compassionate.. [very 
buddhistic? ]
It will be very interesting to hear when that language of compassion 
gets picked up, adopted and used by spokespersons up the chain of TM 
command. That actually is extremely interesting that he is changing 
the inside by leading with that idea. It has always been said that TM 
is without heart, well then if it is not a trick then we see this 
movement of the movement from the upper level around this whole mental 
health thing is showing some heart, even though it took boxing them in 
to a corner to help them show it. This is quite a change.
Question of course now is the carry-through. There is more work to do 
to figure out the practical delivery of policy. The clinic, type of 
credentialed staffing, and how they are going to administrate those 
trip-wire questions on their forms. That MUM student who spoke
